The hypocrisy of the Republicans to blame the troop pull out of Iraq on Pres Obama.

Republicans' Reality:

“President Trump is being told EXACTLY what President Obama was told before he withdrew from Iraq,” Graham tweeted Wednesday. “He appears to be hell-bent on making the same mistakes in Syria as President Obama made in Iraq.”

Real Reality:

In late April 2007 Congress passed a supplementary spending bill for Iraq that set a deadline for troop withdrawal but President Bush vetoed this bill, citing his concerns about setting a withdrawal deadline.[8][9][10] The Bush Administration later sought an agreement with the Iraqi government, and in 2008 George W. Bush signed the U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement. It included a deadline of 31 December 2011, before which "all the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory".[11][12][13] The last U.S. troops left Iraq on 18 December 2011, in accordance with this agreement.

Why are democrats allowing republicans to keep repeating that it was Obama who pulled out of Iraq and creating ISIS?

Its clearly, demonstratively that Pres Obama had to pull the troops out by 2011 under the agreement signed by Pres Bush in 2008.
